Any car washing tips?
 

First time washer

Any do's and dont's

Use 2 buckets. One for the clean soap water, one for the dirty water.

It really depends on your resources though. For some, the one bucket ONR method is best. For others, a foam gun with mitts and the two bucket method is best.

yes this is called getting the ball rolling

Never go through a machine car wash and never let the dealer "Wash" your car! theyll leave a ton of swirl marks, you have to tell them not to do it. :p

Perhaps consider the subforum? http://www.ft86club.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=42

Use a car washing soap; rinse with clear water and dry off ..... all in the shade ....

humfrz

Just remember a little common sense goes a long way. You have a large investment in your ride. Don't scrimp when purchasing products to clean and maintain it. :)

Don't lean on the car. Belt buckle or jean rivets will make scratches.

Your welcome. :)

Take it to a touchless carwash. You'll be fine!

It's best if you use sand paper to wash the car, followed by drying it with steel wool.

I seriously hope nobody took this post serious.

That reminds me of a post on some Mustang forums where someone suggested flushing out old oil with water and running the engine.

It was not perceived as a joke.

Yikes!

I better be careful in case someone decides to wash their car with sand paper and dry it with steel wool and tries to blame it on me. lol
